Time Text
No, I really mean it.
Look, and I know I'm going out on a limb saying so because it's it's really early and there's it's life.
I mean, there's all kinds of unexpected things that are going to happen that nobody can predict.
But I mean, just sitting here right now and digesting everything there is to digest, and if the trend that we see keeps going, I think we are primed for an economic, a genuine economic recovery that's going to lead to economic growth that millions and millions of people have never experienced in this country.
People of a certain age simply not old enough to have experienced it, or were too young when one was happening.
And I think people are going to be shocked.
I think people are going to be stunned, especially after eight years of being told that the best days of America have already happened, and that it's a new era of globalism, and that we must manage this new position in the world of the United States, which which is one of decline, uh, and becoming good corporate citizen,
and this idea of a superpower is uh not productive to the uh planet is destabilizing the United States is guilty, guilty of uh uh destroying the planet, destroying the climate, guilty of uh imposing its itself on foreign countries, guilty of theft of resources.
I mean, you name it.
I mean, this has been the for the last eight years at least, and for millennials, these are prime years of their lives.
You take a person 30 years old, 22 when Obama became inaugurated, these are formative years.
These are years that will tell them and and provide a foundation for what they think life is.
They're gonna be shocked.
They're gonna be blown away by what's possible.
And it could be revolutionary in terms of how the American people learn and what they're able to learn about such things as economic growth and individual and corporate freedom and liberty and so forth, and the contrast between a very active punitive government versus a very active and friendly government.
Because I don't think this government's going to get any smaller.
Not measurably, meaning we're not going to get rid of cabinet agencies, but they're going to get smaller.
If Trump has his way, they're going to be much less prominent.
They're going to be much less invasive, and to whatever extent they exist, they're going to side with the American people.
And that means in many ways, siding with people that hire the American people and generate economic growth.
Now, as I say, uh this is not a full-fledged guaranteed prediction because there's too much that we don't know that is going to happen, that cannot be foreseen and can't be predicted.
But I'll tell you this, I have never felt one day of optimism in the last eight years.
With the leadership in Washington, D.C. from the White House.
I have not felt any optimism with Obama.
I haven't felt any optimism with the Republican leadership in in Congress, because there wasn't any serious opposition to Obama.
And it's been it's been not fun.
Nobody wants to be a pessimist, and nobody wants to get caught up in pessimism.
Well, I say nobody.
A lot of people are happily miserable.
I'm not one of them.
Uh I'm I'm I'm a genuine optimist, and I want reasons to be, and I want everybody else to be.
I want everybody enjoying things.
I want everybody being and doing the best they can.
And that's not what this government, that's not what this administration has been about.
This administration doesn't, that doesn't even enter their thought process.
To them, individuals are flawed and fallible and have to be governed against, protected, shielded, just did not, it's not been a good eight years.
And it certainly hasn't been an eight years where you felt optimistic about things that were happening policy-wise, or or anywhere else culturally, I mean, you name it.
So I I think the opportunity for a stark change in attitude in economics And just in a number of things already in the move.
It's already on the move, it's already happening.
You know that that question that I cited to you when I knew the 2012 election was over.
I had the exit polls at 5 o'clock.
The question cares about people like me, and it was Obama won that 81-19 over Romney.
What do you think?
I think Trump would do on that question right now.
Cares about people would be off the charts.
And remember with Obama, with every failure, well, at least he's trying.
At least he cares.
At least he's trying.
Do you think they're going to afford Trump the same kind of forgiveness?
No way.
They're not even going to give him the credit for trying.
They're not going to get it for the longest time.
I meant what I said at a close of the previous hour.
The left and its money-producing apparatus, the fundraisers.
You believe this Hillary Clinton is having a thank you party.
And Obama is doing a farewell tour.
You haven't heard about that?
Obama's going to go out and try to beat Trump.
He's going to do three farewell tours somewhere in January.
But me but Hillary, on the 15th of December, so maybe a week from tonight, has a has a party for all of her donors.
Oh, no, I'm not correct on that.
It's not all of her donors, only the biggest ones.
The bundlers, the people who put together a lot of donors, and the people that donated a lot.
They're doing it at one of the, well, by reputation, one of the most ostentatious and luxurious ballrooms in all of Manhattan.
The Plaza Hotel Ballroom.
But it only holds 450 people.
And I I'm wondering if you even have to donate to get into this party.
Oh, I know they've paid for it through the nose.
One way or another, and they've got nothing to show for it.
And Hillary's out there asking for more.
I mean, a party for fundraisers?
What do you think it ultimately is going to be?
So it it's it's it's just fun for me to look at the at the contrast here.
Is while Obama doing nothing got the credit for trying and was never held accountable for all of the misery and all of the failures.
Trump is going to get nowhere near that kind of treatment.
And the fundraising apparatus of the Democrat Party is gearing up right now to stop Trump every day.
The Democrat Party, it's obvious, only knows one way to win, and that is opposition research, and that is destroying the opponent.
The Democrat Party does not know, and this last campaign showed it.
They have no idea how to go out and extol the virtues they represent and get people feeling good and voting for them.
The only thing they've got, look at Hillary's campaign was Trump is not fit.
Trump is unsuitable.
Trump is a Nazi.
Trump is a misogynist.
Trump is a racist.
They do not have an ounce of optimism in their substance, in their essence, in their existence.
And it's going to be contrasted every day because these people are not getting it.
They are in in obstinate refusal, denial of what they see.
And it's it's just for me, it is enjoyable as it can be to witness.
Now, Farid Zakaria GPS works at CNN.
And he's got a show on Sunday morning called Farid Zucarry, a global positioning satellite.
Fareed to carry a GPS.
Let me see if we get any sound bites in this.
I bet...
Let's see.
Let's look.
Oh!
We do.
We have at least one grab soundbite number 13.
See if we can 13.
Let me set this up with this.
Farid Zakaria GPS, two hour, tribute to Barack Hussein O, last night on CNN called The Legacy of Barack Obama.
And here is just a portion.
This is about 40 seconds of Farid Zakariat GPS.
His conclusion that the legacy of Barack Obama, the conclusion, the reason Obama never really took off.
Is this.
During his eight years, the Democratic Party has suffered a historic series of defeats at the state and national levels, putting them in the worst position they've been in since the 1920s.
Was that Obama's failure?
A lack of political skill?
Perhaps, though it is equally likely that the currents was stronger than any one person could shift.
In recent years, America has gone through enormous economic, technological, political, and cultural change.
And in some parts of the country, there has been a backlash to that change and to an African American president.
It remains unclear whether the country was ready for Obama's vision.
So we have eight years of abject misery, disappointment.
I mean, there's just nobody, nobody, this is this is obvious, folks.
Even Farid Zucaria GPS here.
There's nobody that's running around doing a victory lap or victory lap or lap dances about how great these past eight years have been.
There's nobody running around on the Democrat side, talking about how wonderful, how magnificent, how progressive, how good anything in the last eight years has been.
The theme is Obama was so far ahead of his time.
He was just so way ahead of nobody could keep up with him.
He was so far ahead of everybody, nobody could even understand him.
He was just ahead of his time.
It remains unclear whether the country was ready for Obama's vision.
Well, it clearly wasn't ready for Obama's vision.
But you see, that's not because Obama's vision was bad.
No, no, no, no.
It's not because Obama's vision was wrong, it's because the American people are stupid, jackass, deplorables, is why the country was not ready for Obama's vision.
And then there was this passage here from Farid Zakaria GPS.
In recent years, America has gone through enormous economic, technological, political, and cultural change in some parts of the country there's been a backlash to that change, and to an African American person.
So I what what is he talking about here?
What enormous economic change has there been?
Positive.
There hasn't been any.
The enormous economic change has been, but it hasn't been positive.
The enormous economic change is 95 million Americans not working.
No wage increases that you can find in the last 10 years.
Most of the new jobs created were part-time.
There weren't anywhere near enough jobs created to even begin replacing those lost with the Great Recession.
What technological changes were there?
Government spying.
Political and cultural change, yeah, like gay marriage, and one-tenth of one percent of the population holding up who can use what bathroom, and then boycotting economically states that don't recognize this kind of convoluted thinking.
This is the kind of cultural, economic, technologic technological, political change the country didn't want and did not vote for.
And so since the American people didn't want it and ultimately didn't vote for it, it's their fault because the country just wasn't ready for Obama's vision.
Here's a newsbuster's report on the Farid Zakariat GPS show.
Zakaria set his sights on congressional Republicans and claimed their opposition to Obama was fueled by a deep-seated racism.
That fierce, unrelenting opposition would haunt the next eight years, Zakaria said, and what began as whispers is now discussed ominously.
Did race play a role in the brick wall of Republican resistance to Barack Obama?
Mr. Zacaria, there wasn't any resistance.
That's not quite the that's not there.
There was all kinds of resistance, but not official.
The Republicans announced every year they weren't going to oppose Obama.
The Republicans made it clear they were not going to try to stop Obama.
Not legislatively.
Now you might have had individual Republicans out on TV criticizing Obama, but there wasn't any opposition to him.
It's the exact Mr. Zacaria, if you want to bring in the racial component here, what you're going to have to admit is that the race of President Obama paralyzed this country.
It paralyzed legitimate criticism of the President of the United States.
It amplified Malcontent operations like Black Lives Matter.
It gave rise to a thug ocracy.
And nobody had the guts to speak out against it for fear of what would happen to them.
And it's not just they were afraid of being called racist.
It was what would happen to them by Black Lives Matter, whoever if anybody got wind of what they were saying.
But yet to Fareed Zakaria GPS, the opposition to Obama was rooted in racism.
And this is exactly the way they paralyzed any opposition to Obama.
Folks, when you can't criticize the president, the president's most powerful man in the world, when you can't criticize him, when you can't have an open discussion of what he's doing because of his race, that's paralysis.
And I recognize this was going to be the case the moment he won the election.
It wasn't going to liberate us from racial issues.
It was going to make things worse, and it did.
The first segment of Farid Zakaria GPS.
Program is called America in Black and White.
Zakaria detailed Obama's upbringing and his struggles with race.
And it gave way to a joyous scene, joyousness scene, and Obama's 2008 acceptance speech.
But then admittedly things turned dark quickly, according to Zecaria.
Seemed like a fairy tale beginning, but at precisely the moment the first couple listened to this.
At precisely the moment the first couple began swaying on the inaugural ball dance floor.
The central crisis of the Obama presidency was already taking shape.
Within half a mile of where Obama and Michelle are dancing and celebrating their great victory.
His Republican opponents are whining and dining and plotting his defeat.
That's from Ryan Lizza at The New Yorker.
Zakaria then built off Lizza, proclaiming 15 of the most powerful Republicans in Washington made a pact that night, as if there was this giant conspiracy to stop and oppose Obama.
Even while he's on the dance floor of the inaugural ball with Michelle my Bell Obama.
What I remember is David Brooks talking about the sharp crease in Obama's slacks, and what a great president he was going to be.
Anyway, Obama weighs in on this too.
Which I will share with you when we get back and then do your phone call, so hang on.
Okay, so on the Farid Zakaria GPS two hour legacy of Obama special last night, Obama said, well, attitudes about my presidency among whites in northern states are very different from whites in southern states.
And Zacaria said, Well, are there folks whose primary concern about me is Obama said, are there folks whose primary concern about me is that I seem foreign?
And the president answered his own question by saying, absolutely.
So Obama says there are people whose primary concern about me is that I seem foreign.
And the white northerners, i.e., the liberals, they love me, the southern liberals, southern the southern whites, they don't.
This is the guy that was going to unify the country.
Anyway, I have more on this.
I need to get started on the phones.
We're going to go to Columbus, Ohio with Bill.
I'm really, really glad you waited.
How are you doing, sir?
I'm doing very well, Rush.
Thank you so much.
Listen, Megadiddos and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Long time listener, 23 years plus.
And uh really I just want to thank you for giving us such a dynamic voice.
Uh, your Some Princess, and again, I appreciate so much of what you do.
Thank you very much, sir.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Listen, uh, about a week, maybe two weeks ago, you had a caller on the show here that says something to the effect that people listen to Trump, but they don't really hear what he's saying.
And that's something I've been saying about you for man over the last 20 years.
People just don't listen to what Democ uh the Democrats simply just don't listen to what Republicans conservatives say.
There's got to be some kind of a mechanism there that that that uh does not allow them to do that outside of their political uh you know positions.
What do you think?
I'm interested in knowing what do you think that position is?
How do we get them to the point where they actually hear what conservatives are saying to post of just listening to it?
Well, I I don't I don't think we can.
I think they should I think the attitude needs to be we need to defeat them, defeat them, defeat them, not accommodate them, not try to persuade them.
If they come along of their own volition, fine, we accept them.
But they they they are the epitome of bigotry and prejudice.
They live in a cocoon, and the and the shelter of the cocoon is a lie after lie after lie after lie that gives them comfort.
They are comfortable in in these misrepresentations, distortions and and mistakes uh about their opponents.
It's one of the ways in which they feel valid and relevant is to think that all the rest of us disagree with them are contemptible and mean and all that and we're not worth understanding or getting to know.
Bill, hang on.
Don't hang up.
And we're back.
We have Bill in Columbus, Ohio.
Bill, I a little bit more time here to answer your question.
The first thing about about your question, you you you you would I gather like to persuade them, you would like to open them up, you would like them to hear what they're missing, correct?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Here's the thing to realize, and we've learned this now.
We we didn't think it.
We feared the opposite, but we know they're a minority, Bill.
They're not running the country.
Well, they're not the majority of the country.
They do own the cultural landscape, but they have been losing elections since 2010.
They have been repudiated.
They are not even a national party right now, when you get right down to it.
They are destined for a dismal electoral future in Washington, the House and Senate.
Uh why do you think all these people are leaving?
Dingy Harry, a number of them retiring.
They're they're in dire consequence.
But the point is, we have been living an illusion.
That is that we're losing ground, that we're outnumbered.
It's not we who are outnumbered, they are.
It just hasn't looked like it because of the media.
The second thing is they are so the uh I've got so many years of experience now dealing with these people.
The arrogance and and the condescension they have toward people that disagree with them is such it's almost impenetrable.
Now you'll hear people call here claiming they used to be lib and they've changed their minds.
That happens, but it happens naturally.
It's not because I've focused on trying to persuade people.
Uh and I I think while it it's a noble objective to try to help people to see things the right way.
These this is a different psychological collection of human beings, and they are walled off from anything that's not them.
On college campus, they're frightened by it.
They're called snowflakes, and they need safe spaces, so they will not have to even hear things that they don't agree with.
So my what when I say that they are primarily to be defeated and beaten, I mean that in the political sense.
These people nearly destroyed this country, and it can happen again.
You know, one of the reasons, and I'm so glad you call for inspiring this this line of thought.
Um of the reasons I temper my optimism is that I know how easy it is to become a liberal.
I know how easy it is to get sucked in by it.
Uh look at how dominant we were in the 1980s.
And by 1995, there was nothing to show for it.
Even after eight years of incomparable economic growth and optimism and can-do spirit, the Berlin Wall coming down, the Soviet Union imploding.
And by 1995, there was hardly anything to show for it.
So it's it's it's fleeting, and the effort to, or the idea, the philosophy of constantly defeating them politically needs to be the battle cry, not to get them to understand us and hear us.
Agreed.
Now with Trump, he doesn't look at things this way.
That's not how he sees.
He's not ideological.
He he sees people who in his world are right and wrong about whatever issue is in his mind.
But the motivation for why people think what they think, I don't even think is interesting to him.
Liberalism, conservatism, it's that that's that's irrelevant stuff to him.
He looks at things an entirely different way.
That's just another reason why we as conservatives have to remain vigilant as we can to the ideological component of what's going on here, because as it succeeds, we need to be able to tell people why it's working, and at the same time be able to contrast it and say why it didn't work when the liberals ran the show.
This is an ongoing effort.
We have won one election.
And it's these people are never going to go away, and they're never going to realize they're wrong.
They're never going to admit to you, Bill, that they were wrong.
Oh, you want.
I listened to Limbaugh for about six months, and I figured out how horribly wrong I was.
They're never going to tell you that.
Not in mass, as I say, two or three here or there individuals might, but in mass it isn't going to happen.
Now, Bill, before you go, I need to ask you, would you like a brand new iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus?
Oh, gosh, thank you so much.
Absolutely.
What kind would you like and what carrier are you on?
Um, I have Verizon right now, and uh the seven plus and silver would be great.
Seven plus Verizon Silver.
Uh whatever you have.
I mean whatever you want to do.
I think in Verizon 7 Plus, it's shiny black or matte black.
Uh Matt Black is fine.
You will love it.
I guarantee you you will love it.
It's gonna come, it's it's unlocked.
Uh what kind of iPhone do you have now?
We have a six.
Okay, fine.
Your s your SIM card and that six, just put it in this phone and you're up and running.
You don't even even take it to the Verizon store.
Great.
All right.
Thank you so much.
No, no, hang on.
You get your email address or your shipping address so we can fed X saying.
It's two hundred and fifty-six gigabytes of storage.
Thank you so much.
It's the top of the line, iPhone 7 Plus.
Don't hang up so Mr. Sturdley get your address.
Here's Colleen in Pittsburgh.
Colleen, great to have you with us.
How are you doing?
Mega data for us since 1992.
How nice to talk to you.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Um, I am not surprised at all with Trump's win with his cabinet picks or the efficiency of how things are getting done.
And I'm going to tell you why.
Months ago, shortly after Donald Trump announced that he was going to run for the presidency, one of his sons, and forgive me, I don't remember which one, was being interviewed.
And they asked him, did your father consult you regarding um his his intention to run and what was your response?
And his son said, Dad, you better be a hundred percent sure that you want to be the next president of the United States, because if you run, you will win.
And at that point, I had such hope and optimism, and I don't think I have to tell you why.
I think you understand this mindset.
Um I come from a family of sports competitors.
I'm one myself, family of coaches, and that mindset of somebody that just knows how to win, and not just the presidency, but for the next four years to continue winning has given me such hope.
I have four children.
I'm so optimistic about the future, and I'm just excited about what's to come.
I really am.
Well, I think you're entirely justified in in that, and I understand exactly what you mean.
That's Donald Trump.
I can remember telling people this in the early stages of the primary when people can't figure him out, and they don't know why he's saying these crazy things, and why is he doing these crazy things and what it is that motivates him?
I tried to tell him, and at the top of the list, Donald Trump is a winner.
Donald Trump wants to be known as a winner.
That's you know, we all want things in life.
His is to be known as a winner because he does win.
He wants to be known as a gen, and he is a legitimate winner.
Now, you said something that I think a lot of people hear and they don't really stop to think about it.
You said he knows how to win.
Yes.
Now I've heard this all my life too, but I never really knew what it meant until one day.
I was flying on the Phoenix Suns airplane, a team plane on the way to Chicago.
They were in the playoffs against Chicago Bulls.
Paul Westfall was a coach.
This is a team that had Kevin Johnson and Danny Ainge and uh uh Charles Barkley.
And I was talking, I was talking to Danny Ainge uh on this flight, and he was talking about the concept of knowing how to win.
Right.
And I said, What is that?
I mean, that because I think everybody in the league wants to win.
He said, Oh, everybody does want to, but not everybody knows how to.
Right.
And so he proceeded to give me from his perspective as an athlete, and as in now he's as a coach, what the whole concept of knowing how to win is.
And he said part of it is rooted in experience, the experience of winning.
But it's it's attitudinal.
It's the belief that you should.
It's the belief that you can, it's the belief that you will, no matter where you are at any stage or phase of the competition.
Exactly.
There are many people in athletics who only know losing.
Their team never wins.
They only know losing, and therefore nobody on the team really understands.
They they're all trying to win, but it's a it's a select few who know how.
And Trump is one.
He does know how to win.
Yes, he does.
Some people are guilty.
Well, some people are guilty when they win.
Some people uh you know what it's so unfortunate because some people handle lose.
I mean, even some some modern day competitors, athletes, you name it, some people have a guilt complex about winning.
They think it isn't fair.
Um that's not how you win.
You don't you don't feel guilty when you win, and you don't you don't feel uh sorry for anybody about it.
No, my husband's been a football coach for years, and they would watch football games, and you'll see one team that's just completely being blown away.
Well, and he said, you you never feel sorry for your competitor, you just don't do it at any time during the game because you need to win.
That's not to say that you do not exhibit sportsmanship.
Right.
No, exactly.
But um, okay, look, iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 plus.
You're a caller, you get one if you want one.
Nobody has one.
You what?
I'd love one.
You love you, nobody has yet refused one.
One gave it to a soldier, yes, but nobody has refused one, and nobody has said, sorry, I already have one.
People are smart.
Even people who have one are, oh gosh, I would love it.
What kind do you want?
I'd like the seven plus, please.
What's your carrier?
A T. So you can take any color you want.
What color would you like?
Uh, you have rose gold.
I do.
I've got rose gold, 256 gigabytes, ATT, Rose Gold iPhone 7 Plus.
You hang on out there, Colleen, and Mr. Snurdley will get your address, and you will have it by 1030 tomorrow morning.
Don't go away, my friends.
We'll be right back.
Now let me contrast something here for you.
I want to go back to Hillary for just a moment.
Compare and contrast.
Donald Trump is going out thanking the voters who supported him.
He's going to Fayetteville, North Carolina.
He goes to uh he goes to Ohio, he's going to Iowa.
If you look at his cabinet picks, they're not donors.
These three military guys are not being chosen because they're being paid back for donating to Trump.
He's picking them because they're the best.
His campaign did not rely on fundraising, although there was fundraising going on, it was behind the scenes and it was it was substantive, but he didn't make a big deal of it.
And I think these thank you tours that Trump is doing are brilliant because it continues to reinforce with the voters.
They made the right choice.
Folks, let me emphasize something again.
I I I don't want anybody to think that I am perpetually pessimistic about this because I'm not.
I am more optimistic about things and our country and our future than I've been in eight years.
But it's a guarded optimism simply because I know how easy it is to fall back into big government itis, liberalism, compassion-oriented uh feel-good kinds of beliefs.
It's it's it's liberalism's the easiest, most gutless choice in America, and it's very, very seductive.
As I say, we had nothing to show for the 1980s by 1995.
And the left isn't going away.
They have been vanquished.
But one of the mistakes, remember 1994 house win, first time in 40 years.
One of the reasons we didn't hold it ideologically.
We we ran, we maintained control of the house.
We lost the ideological energy because a tactical mistake was made.
It was assumed after that election, the country had gone conservative and understood conservatism and had endorsed it, and thus we stopped explaining why we were doing what we were doing.
And the left was allowed to define Newt Gingrich and the House leaders as a bunch of racist, sexist, bigot homophobes who didn't care about people.
We cannot make this mistake again.
They're going to continue doing that because that's all they know.
They are not optimists.
It isn't in their bloodstream.
They thrive on negativism.
Their fuel is pessimism that leads to rage.
So Trump constantly on the thank you tour validating people and their choice.
I think he's going to continue to do this as president, by the way.
It is one of the arguments for the never-ending campaign, if you will.
But Trump is going to couple governance with the never ending campaign.
I which is which is fine with uh with with me.
But you contrast this with what Hillary Clinton is doing.
Trump is going out thanking the people who voted for him, thanking the people who stuck by him when it would have been easy to abandon him.
It would have been easy to throw him overboard.
And by the way, if I may interject something personal, I can relate to that.
You people have stuck with me through any number of episodes that had you abandoned me, it would have made perfect sense.
But you haven't.
You have stuck there.
You have stayed in this audience, you've maintained its size, and you've even grown it all over again here.
And I have the I have never-ending deep appreciation for all of you.
And I think Trump is the same way with his voters.
He has a almost a personal connection and understanding with every one of them.
And what's Hillary doing?
Hillary is going to the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan to a very exclusive and relatively small ballroom, only 450 people, to thank who?
Her fat cat donors.
She is thanking the money people.
She is she's not thanking supporters.
She's not thanking people who believed in her for her ideas and substance in her personally.
She's doing a thank you for the money, largely because she wants them to continue giving it to her.
Make no mistake about that.
And that is almost the difference in the two campaigns in a nutshell.
It's a stark contrast.
Here is Rachel, Indianapolis.
Hi, Rachel.
Glad you waited.
You're next on the program.
Great to have you here.
I am so excited to be able to talk to you.
Thank you.
You bet.
I I actually called because I wanted to thank you.
Because this isn't I'm 18.
This was my first election year.
Eighteen.
